I got started with a couple chapters from a couple of the books - baby steps
It should take about 3 months to perfect your skills and feel prepared for the exam, so I'm well on track to sit this for December time

If anyone's also studying this summer - message me, we can weep together

Why am I considering a masters?
Well I'm so undecided as to where I'm headed, I thought a career in finance was what I wanted to do, but after failing to pass assessment centres and interviews, I quickly realised that I don't quite have adequate technical knowledge in my "desired" field. After receiving so many rejections for summer internships (way over 40), I just don't want to be stuck with nothing. So, by preparing my self for this exam, it'll make my postgrad application look super hot (if I do well ) and if I don't get a grad job, well at least I can jump right back into education - where everyone wants to be....

As aforementioned, one of my university friends came down from Germany to visit London (in a nutshell, long story is that her aunt now lives in South Ken and she half lives with her aunt and half with her dad in Germany - but anyway!) Today I decided to take them to Brick Lane!Brick Lane is so fabulous and funky, I love it. No one cares about anyone else but themselves, you're just doing your own thing and everyone else is the same. That's always probabyl the case in London but for some reason I never feel like that, I feel as though I'm just being watch 24/7.... but anyway!

While walking along Brick Lane, we saw this huge glass window and found out the building was called Junkyard Golf so we went inside, as you do.

Junkyard Gold is an underground, super edgy miniature golf place, there are 3 courses - we played Helga It was a great laugh, came to the conclusion that none of us are very good at golf and will be going to play real golf and get better ahaha. I came 4/6 maxing out my shots twice!

So today marks the start of my final day updating this blog 6 weeks have gone by oh so very quickly! I’m so glad I entered this for multiple reasons:

My summer has been absolutely amazing
I’d never have gotten out of bed to do ¼ of the things I wrote on my list and now I can say I’ve finally gone to the tennis, seen the Williams sisters play & saw Kate Middleton! I’ve done the generic summer things such as London outings, reading and binging shows, but I’ve taken on challenges such as going to the gym more, cooking for my family and finding myself a job. It’s also been a summer learning as I’m currently revising for my GMAT exam which I hope to sit in November.I feel good about myself
I’m a huge fan of lists (catch the sub Jane the Virgin Fans) and it always feels so lovely being able tick off an achievement once you’ve done it, but this took it one step further because other people could congratulate you and monitor your progress, so it felt almost as though I was doing this for you guys too

I made a difference!!
One of my goals was to rekindle a friendship and it meant so much to me when another user messaged me about how I inspired them to do the same thing, it’s honestly the little things.

So thank you TSR for being so amazing in helping me get my summer going, I’m not going to go back to my old ways and lie in bed all day – I’m a working girl with more goals to get achieving!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO COMMENTED/LURKED/SUPPORTED/ENCOURAGED ME!
